The archecure descrbes he elemens, relaonshps and mechansms, boh a he ndvdual and he collecve levels, whch deermne he self-organzng and emergen phenomena, whou mahemacally modelng he sysem. In hs work s esed a mehod of verfcaon for MASOES, n order o deermne s qualy o descrbe he self-organzng and emergen behavor of real sysems. Ths mehod s based on he wsdom of crowd paradgm and fuzzy cognve maps. The case sudy s based on socal force model for pedesran dynamcs, n order o sudy s behavor and deermne s self-organzng and emergen capacy hrough MASOES. Key-Words: - Mulagen sysems, Self-Organzaon, Emergen Sysems, Socal Force Model, Crowd Dynamcs. 1 Inroducon Nowadays, he mulagen approach can be used o model sysems wh several agens and neracons n very dynamc and/or unpredcable envronmens, where soluons are no known beforehand, and/or change consanly. Thus, we defne MASOES, a mulagen archecure for desgnng, modelng and sudyng self-organzng and emergen sysems [1], whou mahemacally modelng he sysem. MASOES, wh respec o oher works [7, 11 and 14], consders boh mcroscopc and macroscopc aspecs of a sysem; ha s, manages he knowledge a he collecve and ndvdual level. Also, s a generc archecure and allows each agen o change s behavor, guded by s emoonal saes, provdng o he sysems desgner wh a ool ha can be appled n he modelng of self-organzng and emergen sysems n dfferen conexs. In hs paper, he case sudy s appled o he Socal Force Model (SFM) [8], whch s a mcro-smulaon model for sudyng pedesran dynamcs, hrough dverse forces for reflecng he movaons of he pedesran and he nfluence of envronmen. Hence, hs arcle esablshes he archecural componens of MASOES and he causng relaonshps beween hem for he SFM. Tha s, for hs specfc case where we know ha he real sysem (SFM) has selforganzng and/or emergen properes, we are gong o es f he verfcaon mehod of MASOES can deermne s self-organzng and/or emergen properes, as hose are observed n real expermens [9, 1]. 2 General Aspecs Ths secon defnes some aspecs relaed o MASOES, he wsdom of crowds paradgm (WoCP), he fuzzy cognve maps (FCM), and fnally, abou SFM. 2.1 MASOES MASOES s a mulagen archecure for sudyng sysems n order o deermne her self-organzng and emergen properes. We shall descrbe some key ISBN:

2 aspecs n a general way (more deals abou componens and mechansm can be found n [1]). Our archecure s dvded no wo levels: ndvdual and collecve (see fgure 1). Collecve cognve emergence arses from hree neracon levels: Local Ineracon Level, whch mgh be drec or ndrec (va he envronmen); Group Ineracon Level, nvolvng socal neworks or srucured groups; and, General Ineracon Level, whch ncludes he whole he communy of agens. Now, wh respec o ndvdual cognve emergence, he dea s o produce cognve emergence mang he way n whch human beng go from unconscous o conscous; handlng he agen s behavor a 3 dfferen levels and esablshng a herarchy of behavors: Unconscous Behavor or reacve; Emoonal Behavor orened by he emoons; and Conscous Behavor. Each agen changes s behavor (behavor-swchng) dynamcally, guded by s emoonal sae n a gven momen. We propose n [2], an emoonal model whch wll be used as an ndrec mechansm n he decson-makng process and n choosng ype of behavor n parcular. Fg. 1. Mulagen Archecure for Self-Organzng and Emergen Sysems. 2.2 Wsdom of Crowds Paradgm Accordng o hs paradgm, he collecve nellgence (global wsdom) emerges from he knowledge of ndvduals whn a group where evenually each separae ndvdual possesses lle nformaon. In pracce, he concep of collecve nellgence s he oppose of he so-called exper opnon, whch means consulng wh a person ha has a rack record of good judgmen based on her experence and specalzed knowledge [2]. Ths s proven hrough dfferen examples where can be seen how he aggregaed knowledge of a large and dverse group s superor o ha of one or few expers. Accordng o Suroweck [2], here are some wsdom of crowd prncples ha we use as a source of nspraon n order o defne our verfcaon crera n [12]. These prncples are: Opnon Dversy: Indvduals mus have suffcenly dverse opnons (or knowledge over an ssue) as o be able o comprse he whole specrum of possble opnons. Wh more dversy n a crowd more robus wll be her collecve nellgence. Independence of Opnon: Each person mus feel ruly free o express hs opnon, whou beng nfluenced by ohers, ha s, as auonomously as possble. Decenralzaon: Decenralzaon means ha each person pus hs pon of vew o he es, nsead of smply answerng o drecves comng from above,.e., each member ac as a pseudo-exper of an area. Aggregaon: There are a decenralzed and dsrbued mechansm ha summarzes, ransforms and expresses ndvdual conrbuons (ndvdual knowledge) no collecve conrbuons (group knowledge). 2.3 Fuzzy Cognve Maps (FCM) Cognve maps are ools o represen complex cognve process hrough a vsual desgn n he form of a map. Polcal scens Axelrod (1976) [5, 6] nroduced cognve maps as ools o represen socal scenfc knowledge. Cognve maps may be graphcally represened, where conceps are conneced by arrows or hrough a connecon marx n whch he neracon of each par of conceps ndcaes he relaonshp beween hem. In he connecon marx he -nh lne represens he wegh of he arc connecons whch are dreced ousde of he C concep, ha s, hose affeced by C. The -nh column lss he arcs dreced owards C, ha s, hose affecng C. Thus: w, j M C, C j (1) Where M represens he causal funcon of he arc ha has concep C as he precedng concep and C j as he consequen concep, and where w,j wll be he wegh of he relaonshp beween hese wo conceps. In general, concep C ncreases C j causally f w,j = 1, decreases causally f w,j = -1, and has no a causaly relaonshp f w,j =. Wh respec o he FCMs, hese were developed by Kosko [4] n he md-198s from Axelrod s Cognve Maps. FCMs were nally presened as fuzzy mechansms, where conceps and relaonshps could be represened as fuzzy varables (expressed n lngusc erms). In a FCM he level of represenaon of each concep depends on he level of s anecedens n he prevous eraon, and s calculaed hrough a normalzed sum of producs, where he relaonshp beween a concep and s anecedens s modeled by a smple wegh, accordng o he followng equaon: ISBN:

Fnally, he dynamc approach of he FCM (Dynamc Fuzzy Cognve Maps, DFCM) [17] s based on he dynamcs of he causal relaonshps,.e. durng he runme adap o he changes arsng n he envronmen. 2.4 Descrpon of he MASOES Verfcaon Mehod For he MASOES verfcaon s used wo ypes of conceps (more deals can be found n [12]): Archeconc Conceps: These are he conceps lnked o he collecve and ndvdual componens proposed n MASOES, such as: agens, drec and ndrec neracons, learnng, posve and negave feedback, aggregaon mechansms, among ohers. Conceps lnked o self-organzng and emergen properes: These are he conceps lnked o he verfcaon crera ha guaranee emergence and self-organzaon n a complex sysem: densy, dversy, ndependence, emoveness, selforganzaon and emergence. These conceps, once hey have been nsanced n an applcaon, should ensure he exsence of ceran self-organzng and emergen phenomena such as: qualy conen, group formaon, generaon of rules, among ohers Inalzaon Phase of Verfcaon Mehod Here s assgned a wegh o each relaonshp among conceps accordng o expers. The relaonshps are esablshed usng an adjusmen funcon based on fuzzy rules defned n [5, 12]. Moreover, s assumed ha he sae of he conceps n a modeled sysem can be locaed n hree zones: low, medum and hgh [5]. A concep has a hgh sae (beween 2/3 and 1) when works correcly and conrbues subsanally wh he funconng of he modeled sysem. A concep has a medum sae (beween 1/3 and 2/3) when s funconng mus be valdaed and s conrbuons o he sysems funconng s no so subsanal. A concep has a low sae (beween and 1/3) when does no work and does no conrbue o he funconng of he sysem Execuon Phase of Verfcaon Mehod The execuon algorhm, accordng o he specfed adjusmen funcon, s he followng: C k I.

Fg. 2. The Generc FCM for our verfcaon mehod. 1 Ths algorhm s done hrough a ool called FCM Desgner, ool creaed n Java o vsually creae and o execue a FCM or DFCM (more deals n [5]). Thus, he Generc FCM (see fgure 2) s desgned and negraed wh he values assgned o each one of he relaonshps defned by he expers. In summary, he nsanaon of he verfcaon mehod for a sysem modeled hrough MASOES consss of defnng he possble scenaros and hen, o nalze he conceps accordng o he characerscs and operaon of he sysem o sudy for a gven scenaro (sep I of he algorhm). Laer, accordng o sep II, we would have a FCM of he modeled sysem ha we mus erae wh he FCM Desgner, unl he sysem becomes sablzed. Fnally, we make he analyss and nerpreaon of he resuls. 2.5 Socal Force Model In he followng, he man effecs accordng o SFM [8] ha deermne he moon of a pedesran, wll be nroduced: ISBN:

Table 5 Defnon of he conceps lnked o he self-organzng and emergen properes n SFM Concep Descrpon Densy Dversy Gaherng Independenc e Emoveness Selforganzaon Emergence I measures he degree of complexy whn he socey of agens. I s measured hrough he number of agens as well as he drec and ndrec neracons. In he SFM s necessary a hgh densy of pedesrans so ha he self-organzaon effecs can happen [9]. I measures he homogeney or heerogeney of he socey of agens. For he SFM here are a number of agens of same ype defned whn he sysem,.e. There s a hgh homogeney. I measures he degree of aggregaon n he sysem, measured by he qualy of he aggregaon mechansm, he feedback mechansms used n he sysem, and he degree of delmaon of he acon feld ha favor coordnaon of acves a a collecve level. I measures he degree of auonomy and appropraon of he agens. Agens should be capable of ssung her own opnons ndependenly, ha s, whou he nfluence and manpulaon of ohers. I s measured by he qualy of he learnng mechansm used by he agen, and by he decsons hey make whou mang ohers, based on her cognve and reacve behavor and on he use of ndvdual emoons, more han he socal ones. I measures he degree of emoveness n he agen. Wh respec o SFM, he handlng of emoons n s mahemacal model s no consdered. I measures he degree of adapably n a sysem. Hence, he spaoemporal paerns (self-organzed phenomena) whch could emerge are he resul of a self-organzaon process among pedesrans raher han of exernal forces or delberave acons [3, 9]. I measures he degree of sysem s evoluon hrough he possbly of he appearance of emergng properes. In pedesran crowds are spaoemporal paerns ha could emerge such as: he developmen of lanes (groups) conssng of pedesrans walkng n he same drecon.

I refers o he number of neracons beween he pedesrans n he sysem hrough he envronmen, for example, he generaed rajecores n he sree hrough her seps. I refers o how correcly he mechansm works. In case of SFM s represened hrough he acceleraon force, whch s a renforcng mechansm ha affecs he aggregaon process, conrbues o mave or socal behavor and acs locally [15, 16].

In addon, he ype of emoon and cognve componen conceps are nalzed n zero also, snce here s neher emoonal nor cognve managemen n he SFM s pedesrans. Fnally, a hgh densy of pedesrans s assumed accordng o [9], as well as he number of ndrec neracons, snce he pedesrans communcae more ndrecly han drecly [19] followng he seps of oher pedesrans. Therefore, he number of agens and ndrec neracons conceps are nalzed a 1, and drec neracons concep a.25.
